In the latest issue of Famitsu's biweekly magazine, there was a report about Pokeni, a little-known small company's new game "Onmyoji".

In it, 4 editors each gave the game a high score.

The total score is 39 points.

It's just one point away from the perfect score.

"Onmyoji" entered the Platinum Hall with such a terrible score.

A score of more than 30 points will be classified as a palace-level game.

30-34 is the Golden Palace, 35-39 is the Platinum Palace, and as for the 40-point perfect score game, there will be no more than 40 games as of 2023.

It is conceivable how amazing Pokeni's "Onmyoji" is to get a high score of 39 points in the hands of these [strict] editors.

The only point that was deducted, Editor Ishida commented:

[This is definitely a great game that can go down in the history of the game]

[There is no exaggeration in it]

[Although "Onmyoji" is a galgame game, it is impeccable in terms of love and plot, even in the details of the battle]

[The only thing that makes me feel like I have to deduct points is that the end of the game is really unpleasant]

[It's not that the ending is bad, on the contrary, it's very good, so good that it makes people feel that this game is like "Snow Country" written by Yasunari Kawabata]

[For the sake of the player's experience, I won't spoil it here, but I believe that you will definitely have the same feeling as me after trying the game, that is——]

[This is a game that everyone should experience once in their life, but there is only one chance to experience it, because once you have played this game, you will lose the courage to touch it again.] 】

[Based on the gameplay, graphics, quality, story, battles, and system of the game...... Based on the comprehensive judgment of all aspects, I gave a high score of 9. 】

……

The reviews given by other editors to "Onmyoji" can be described as full of praise.

[This game, whether it is a galgame game or an RPG, has stood at the pinnacle of the field]

[It's the first time I've experienced a game with such beautiful graphics on a red and white machine, and it has taken the galgame game to an unprecedented height]

[I believe that after the appearance of Onmyoji, it is difficult to have such a fascinating galgame game on the market.] 】

[From the picture point of view, Onmyoji is a well-deserved NO1, in all senses, there is no game in the world that can compare with it]

[From the plot point of view, Onmyoji is definitely a masterpiece, and it is completely worth buying]

[When I heard that the game was priced at 8000 yuan, I was more surprised, because even the galgame game was sold to such an extent It was a bit exaggerated, and it was completely stealing the user's money. But when I experienced it, I must say-

Great value for money. 】

……

In short, this rating and report of Famitong directly brought a [niche] game like "Onmyoji" into people's field of vision.

Many people are beginning to be very curious about this galgame-type RPG.

On the one hand, the magazine Famitong is very influential, and on the other hand, it is also because "Onmyoji" is good enough, even if it is a screenshot placed in the magazine-

The cherry blossoms fall, and the scene where the hero and heroine meet on Xianling Island is breathtakingly beautiful.

The battle maps and feature maps are enough to make people feel the shocking beauty.

Just one look is enough to make you fall in love with the game, or at least want to experience it.

It is precisely because of the super influence of Famitsu that there is an endless stream of people who go to the game store to buy "Onmyoji".

And the game store, which didn't have much stock in the first place, quickly sold out.

Pokeni's phone was blown up.

After Qing Zhiyuan read the report, a puzzled and playful expression appeared on his face.

"What is this? Forcibly deduct one point from us, right? ”

"Be content, President!" Akane Ayase placed a glass of boiled water in front of him.

She looked at Qing Zhiyuan with some complaint.

This guy is simply a typical example of a good scar and forgetting the pain.

Last night, I was desperate, and I even wanted to dissolve the company, and now I was smiling.

"President, if it weren't for someone who gave us such a high score, now that Pokeni has been disbanded, okay?"

"Uh......" Qing Zhiyuan frowned fiercely.

"Also, please hurry up and hire another assistant, I'm obviously an HR, why am I always doing the work of a secretary?" Akane Ayase shook her hand, then returned to her desk.

emmmm……

Qing Zhiyuan closed his eyes and pondered.

Isn't this little HR a little too jumpy?

Is it the reason why I've been so nice to her lately?

……

The sales of "Onmyoji" climbed rapidly, and in less than three days, the sales climbed out of the original trough of 1,000 copies, and then quickly hit 10,000.

And then 20 thousand.

30,000 ......

According to this momentum, it is inevitable for "Onmyoji" to break 100,000.

Of course, Famitsu will be crucial to the impact of future sales, but it is not all to their credit.

Players who have purchased Onmyoji before have acted as a very important communication medium, and it is precisely because of their word-of-mouth and promotion that there will be a steady stream of players flocking to the game store.

That's the power of word-of-mouth.

It's just that this process takes a certain amount of time to precipitate, so for Pokeni it has fallen into a short trough period, and with or without the help of Famitong, the game is going to explode sooner or later.

It's just a matter of time.

……

"Oh no! Pokeni's new tour is going to be on fire! ”

Inside the Bruvens company, a colleague from the operations department shouted.

"Really?" The rest of the club turned their attention to him.

"Really. I had an elementary school classmate who now works at Pokeni, and he told me. It is said that now "Onmyoji" has been sold out, and the daily order calls are rumbling.

And I went to the nearby game store to check it out, and found that most of Pokeni's new games were sold out. ”

"Nani?!"

The main planner, Takashi Mizutani, was also shocked.

That's impossible!

How can a garbage game that had less than 1,000 copies some time ago turn over?

This is something that has never happened before in the history of gaming.

If there is anyone in the world who wants Pokeni to succeed the least, it must be Takaya Mizutani in the top three.

As a former member of Pokeni, the main planner of the Pokeni project at the time, and now after defecting to Bluvens, if "Onmyoji" succeeds, where will his face hang?

Doesn't that mean that his vision is not good?!

But the most annoying thing is the new news that my colleagues said next-

"It is said that "Onmyoji" was selected for the platinum hall of Famitong, and Famitong gave it a super high score of 39 points!"

"Nani?!"

Takashi Mizutani's eyes widened, "Isn't it?" ”

That's it...... Garbage......

He clutched his chest, and suddenly felt a little pain.
